XLT SM400 Heavy Duty Speaker Microphone

I was looking for some speaker mics, for my new Wouxun KG-935G Plus radios and stumbled on to this model. I was very curious because it looked identical to my Motorola PMMN4013A. I was used to the performance I got on my older Motorola and comparing that to this XLT SM400 is striking. The fidelity, overall sound is tinny and underpowered compared to the rich loud output of the Motorola. I was really disappointed but will keep them and throw them into my box of older UV-5 radios. Sure these speaker mics may sound "good" and perform "well", but compared to the Motorola its no contest. The XLT SM400 also does not handle full speaker volume well, it starts to distorts as it reaches 100%. The Motorola handles full power much better. I have opened both mics and can tell you, that there is a massive difference in electronics.

Very good sturdy product

I use this while doing forestry work and it works great. It's pretty much identical in construction to the Commountain brand speaker microphones (now discontinued). The XLT's sound quality is clear, the talk button isn't chintzy, and the clip is strong and can be click-locked in any direction you want. Both wire ends are reinforced with rubber so there's no worry of fraying with rough use. I would buy this again if I needed to set up another radio for the team.

Super sturdy, great sound and well built. Quality is outstanding and I can lock the keyboard on my HT and use the device with ease with this mic. A must have for your KG-805G

We have 20 radios and had to replece 4 mics over the past 2 years...the side activation button seems to be what fails too frequently.

Audio through speaker mic sounds like a cheap c.b. mic. Little or no fidelity Heavy duty cord. Mic not conducive to typical amateur radio use.

handy and well made

This speaker mic is excellent! I ordered 2. 1 for a friend We utilize them while patrolling a local campground. They work great, and the cord was the perfect length for how we wear them on our person Delivery was great. There wasn't a scheduled delivery date according to the tracking #, so I can't comment on promptness of delivery Customer service was great, even before I received my order I had originally chosen UPS as my Shipping Method. However, I did find out later UPS was $13-$15 extra, and it was already prepared to ship via Postal Service. Rob had called and left a message regarding the extra cost, and asking how I'd like to proceed. Unfortunately the #, was wrong, so I didn't get the message A quick support chat session cleared up everything, and within 2 hours after exiting the chat session, I received the email saying my order had been shipped

These mics are OK for gentle use, but they are a little quieter and not as durable as the original KMC-17s. The cable is thinner and less durable, leading to broken wires and inoperability.

We are a manufacturing facility and have bought 19 radios for our staff. We cannot transmit everywhere in the facility and out buildings. Antennas continually fall off, and microphone clips break easily. We have added a repeater, longer antenna for the repeater just trying to extend out signal with little to no luck.

great product, once it arrived the quality is really great, it feels solid, looks just like an emergency services speaker mic the audio quality is excellent, for the price you cant beat this speaker mic
